Philosophy Panpsychism for general audience

By Philip Goff

Summary

Galileo's "error" was excising consciousness from the scientific worldview by decreeing that only quantities (shapes, sizes, motions) count as real, while qualities (colours, sounds, tastes) are merely subjective. To solve the Hard Problem, we must reintegrate consciousness into our fundamental ontology via panpsychism.

Why It Matters

The most accessible and compelling book-length case for panpsychism. Excellent for Prashant's science-spirituality bridge.
